VIDEO: New Metallica, “Cyanide,” and a Seattle tour date

Metallica performed at the one-stop Ozzfest last weekend. The Bay Area thrashers broke out a new song from the upcoming “Death Magnetic,” which is due Sept 12.

Here’s a video of the song “Cyanide.”

Aside from unleashing a new song on the world (Rolling Stone describes the track as swinging in a hammock between St. Anger an the Black Album), the band also announced when it will be coming to Seattle.

The group’s slated Seattle stop will be Dec. 1 at KeyArena. No word on a ticket sales date yet.
